Illinois Congressman Mike Bost says as the House looks to put together an infrastructure bill, he continues to work with Mt. Vernon city leaders to pave the way for a new trans-loading site in the community. He says Mt. Vernon and southern Illinois have a special opportunity to be at the center of national economic growth for many years to come.
Mt. Vernon is one of three cities in the United States where 3 national railroad lines intersect, with the other two cities being Chicago and Nashville, TN.
